Step 3: Configure the Router
In Step 3, you will configure the Router to function in your network and gain
access to the Internet through your Internet Service Provider (ISP). Further, you
will set the WAN Configuration Type on the Router's Setup tab from the information
given by your ISP. You will need this setup information from your ISP. If you do not
have this information, please contact your ISP before proceeding. To find out what
questions you should ask your ISP, refer to question #1 in the Help section.
The instructions from your ISP tell you how to set up your PC for Internet access.
